Sending so much light and big love your guys’ way. I love you all.
Our condolences to the Franklin Family…So sorry for your loss.. Such a great loss ❤️❤️❤️
I have such fond memories of Dennis from my Marion days. Goodness just radiated out from him and he was so thoughtful and patient with a young girl straight out of high school who was in way over her head regarding technology. He made me laugh and smile every day. And he was SO proud of his family, talking about you all and sharing stories. My heart is with you all. Lisa (Love) Childs
Condolences to the Franklin Family. I had the pleasure of working with Dennis for the last 6 years. He was a wonderful man who took the time to teach and mentor me. He will be greatly missed.
My condolences to the family.
I first met Dennis in 1983 when I started working at Marion Labs. He was one of the best colleagues a person could have. He led by example, always willing to work with you. He was a good mentor. I learned a lot from him. His family was always important to him. We would talk about our families, and he always expressed his love for his. He had such a great sense of humor. We found ourselves laughing a lot. In my 47 years in the IT Industry, I have met many technical people. Dennis is at the top. I know his family and friends will miss him. He was one of a kind.
So sorry to learn of Dennis’ passing. I worked in HRIS and Human Resources at Marion Labs. Dennis was an HR dream associate. Like so many others have shared, he was always a true gentleman with a humble spirit, a good role model for other associates and a wealth of knowledge which he willing and selflessly shared with others. What a wonderful legacy. My prayers for his family and friends during this time of grief and mourning. He will be missed but fondly remembered.
My condolences to the family. Dennis was a wonderful person. Kind , generous,honest ,caring, had a great sense of humor, and I always appreciated how down to earth he was. He brought brightness to everyday I would see him.
